I'm not being so lucky :-(
I'm sure you will not give up, it's worth it! :-)

I get this far: CD_ROM: 90 Loading /CDBOOT probing: pc0 com0 mem(699K 991M a20=on) disk: hd0+* cd0 boot> c and there it stays forever. I suspect the "c" following the boot prompt is left over from "hold c to boot from cd". The keyboard at this point is dead. Any ideas?
Of course! :-) And yes, you're probably right with the "c" key. I'd try it step by step now. The mini boots from CD without holding any key, even without a keyboard attached, as long as there's no OS on the harddisk. You want to use OpenBSD only, right? So I'd configure the internal harddisk with one MS-DOS partition using the Disk Utility on the Mac OS X install CD. You can even write a MS-DOS MBR with that utility, though that's not really necessary at this point, you can do that later with fdisk. Just remove the OS. The mini should boot from an OpenBSD boot CD then, also without a keybard and without pressing any key. Does it do that? If you have an ACPI enabled kernel on the boot CD, the USB keyboard should work fine then as soon as you attach it. Tas.
